What is transcribe-and-analyze?

A local tool that converts audio or video from a URL into written text using WhisperKit, with optional AI analysis of the resulting transcript.

Transcribe YouTube videos or direct media links, optionally include timestamps, choose an accuracy model, and summarize or extract insights from transcripts with OpenAI or Ollama.

It removes the need to listen through media manually to produce a transcript. Analysis is separate and only performed when requested.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00053	$0.01454
Opus 5.5	$0.00021	$0.00582
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00011	$0.00291
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00145

Security

Grade A, and why

transcribe-and-analyze scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/analyze_transcript.py, scripts/transcribe.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Transcribe and Analyze

Local transcription of audio/video content using WhisperKit. Analysis is available on request using OpenAI or local Ollama.

Capabilities

Transcription - Convert audio/video URLs to text using WhisperKit (runs locally, always available)
Analysis - Extract insights from transcripts (only when user asks for it, supports OpenAI or Ollama)

Quick Start

Transcribe Only

python3 scripts/transcribe.py "https://youtube.com/watch?v=..."

Transcribe + Analyze (OpenAI)

python3 scripts/transcribe.py "https://youtube.com/watch?v=..."
python3 scripts/analyze_transcript.py whisper-transcriptions/video.md

Transcribe + Analyze (Local)

python3 scripts/transcribe.py "https://youtube.com/watch?v=..."
python3 scripts/analyze_transcript.py whisper-transcriptions/video.md --local

Script Options

# Basic
python3 scripts/transcribe.py "URL"

# Custom output directory
python3 scripts/transcribe.py "URL" --output-dir "/path/to/save"

# Higher accuracy (slower)
python3 scripts/transcribe.py "URL" --model medium

# Without timestamps
python3 scripts/transcribe.py "URL" --no-timestamps

# Custom filename
python3 scripts/transcribe.py "URL" --filename "my-transcription.md"

Whisper Models

Model	Speed	Accuracy	Use Case
`tiny`	Fastest	Lowest	Quick drafts, testing
`base`	Fast	Reasonable	Simple content
`small`	Balanced	Good	Default - most use cases
`medium`	Slower	High	Lectures, important content
`large`	Slowest	Highest	Critical accuracy needed

Dependencies

yt-dlp - pip install yt-dlp or brew install yt-dlp
whisperkit-cli - https://github.com/argmaxinc/WhisperKit

Script checks for these and provides install instructions if missing.

Output

Transcriptions save to ./whisper-transcriptions/ as markdown:

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
